Description

Made with the basics — all-purpose flour, yeast, butter, salt and water — this recipe standby also includes a touch of sugar and malt to round out the flavor. Meant to be baked in a loaf pan, it can be made using lard instead of butter. Use the sliced bread to make sandwiches, or soak them in cinnamon laced milk for French toast if it gets stale.

Judging by the recipe title I expected to find hot sauce or red pepper flakes in the list of ingredients. It does not call for any, and I tried these anyway. The "spicy" is from the cinnamon and it was not strong at all, likely tempered by the honey, brown sugar and vanilla. These were good for trying something a little different for breakfast and made for a tasty snack.
